My favorite myth: Atlantis: the lost city.

Hi dear readers!!!

Today, I’m going to write you about my favorite myth called “Atlantis: the lost city”. I like it because when I was a child I watched in t.v an animated movie related with this myth. The movie is called “Atlantis: the lost empire” it was created for Disney animation studios. When I saw the film, I liked it very much, because this film shows how the man is able to venture himself searching something only by an idea or a myth and also because it shows us how this lost city could be with its constructions, monuments and its inhabitants.

The myth of Atlantis appeared by the philosopher Plato, when he paid attention to the story of a Greek inhabitant called Solon who had listened in Egyptian how a city had been destroyed for a great cataclysm. Plato rewrote this story saying that the Atlantes (inhabitants of Atlantis) were destroyed because they were worshipers of Poseidon, god of sea, and the other gods did not like it, for that reason they were sinking in the ocean Atlantic by many cataclysms (seaquake and earthquake).

How could be Atlantis by Plato.

Plato wrote about the Atlantis, he described it like a beautiful city, with great abundance, very advanced for its time and it shared things from other civilizations far away to it as “the culture Maya” “Aztec” and “Egyptian”. Therefore, several researchers have been tried to find the Atlantis, but until today, nobody has been able to find it.

There are many ideas and speculations about the Atlantis’s localization. Plato mentioned that Atlantis is located in the Ocean Atlantic between Europe and America, but other theories tell us that Atlantis is in the Mediterranean Sea or in the Caribbean, although there is not an exact idea about its location.
